This API will allow users to control the crypto offload functionality offered by new NICs, such as Mellanox Innova IPsec. Applications can request ESP encryption offload for transmission of well-formed plaintext ESP packets, or decryption offload for well-fromed ciphertext ESP packets. Packets are encrypted/decrypted according to the direction of the flow. In order to create an ESP crypto offload specification, the user has to add it to a flow with the Security Association selectors. borisp (2): Introduce egress IB flow steering flag IB/core: ESP AES-GCM crypto offload action include/rdma/ib_verbs.h | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 1.8.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
